if you live another 50 years, this amounts to roughly $9000 per kick in the balls. even factoring the randomness of the kick (its more hurtful since you can't really prepare yourself against it), i think many people would take $9000 for a kick in the balls, provided they know there won't be permanent damage.
and that's if EACH KICK gives you $9000. If you get the $500million up front, it's a really easy decision, because the rest of your life you can spend having so much fun that it easily outweighs the inconvenience of the ball-kicking, which you would probably get used to after a few years.
That is a bad approach. Would I do 1 kick for 9000$? absolutely. Would I do 1 kick for 9000$ if I own >100 million? absolutely not. Do I want to own 500 million? no, I would probably donate most of it
I would much rather receive 9000$ for every single kick than receiving 500million up front.

Disclaimer : easily compared to what would one expect, not that nearly every kick in the balls kills you.
wed all got to die someday, id prefer to die whith a solid gold computer
Ok, so if I told you that I will give you 500mln if you play Russian roulette every day, you would accept ?
getting kicked in the balls is nothing like palying russian roulette
I read the OP and I would not have accepted such a deal until I read this post

It's not just about the pain of being kicked in the balls, it's about the stress that comes with "I could be kicked in the balls at any moment and there's nothing I can do about it".
Until you've had all 3 kicks for the day (and therefore know there's nothing else coming), you - can't relax - can't do any activity that depends on being uninterrupted - can't do anything that would be dangerous if you got kicked (swimming, running, walking down stairs, driving, etc)
If instead the deal was "every day you get a kick in the balls as soon as you wake up, and must take another 2 kicks in the balls during the day at times of your choosing" then I'd be all over that. As it is.... no.

You'll soon get used to it =P gimme the money and kick me in the balss please ^^
// It's funny how we are discussing about money and balls in the same thread lol
I think you would have to do it since after a while you would get used to it and there may be ways to help reduce the pain you feel at the initial time period. At first I would not have done it but after reading some of these post I think I may have changed my mind.
I dunno man, while horrendous thinking about it, for the sake of my family, and future kids, you'd have to just take the money and bear the brunt of the nut kicks, even if it's TOTALLY random times, like, one day you'll be having sex and random invisible kick in the balls. THAT WOULD SUCK ASS, but i would probably go OWWWWWWWWW and proceed to rub my swollen but non-permanently damaged balls with incredible numbing medicine i pay for with hundred dollar bills as my napkins.
and just think of not having to work, and be able to support your family your kids, with no worries, own a house, etc. All that for some kicks in the balls that can be remedied AFTER the kick (it says you can't avoid it or wear a cup, but nothing says you can't carry around some morphine or a local anesthetic to apply afterwards).
